"Dr. Buese is originally from California, and it shows in her down-to-Earth, casual, comfortable warmth. She has home offices and part of the landscape includes her pride of cats, who also are her therapeutic allies. Dr. Buese works collaboratively with folks, respecting their inner capacity for self-healing, and to do so both consciously and unconsciously. She is playful, believing that play is serious business. She also believes in the connectedness of all life, and that this Oneness requires not only respect for others but for other species and forms of life. She is a life-time student."

"Do you want to feel more connected to others? How about to yourself? Are things from the past getting in your way? Therapy allows for the time and space to focus on you. I believe all of us are capable of change, and therapy is one way to begin that change process. I work from an empowerment approach - in other words, I know that you are the expert about who you are, where you're from, and where you're going. My role is to provide guidance, feedback, and a safe environment to process that journey."

"Often the circumstances that bring a person into therapy feel monumental and shameful. Other times the reasons for seeking therapy are unclear or hard to identify. Regardless of magnitude, life's struggles matter. They are real, and, because we are human, they are complicated. The relationship my patient and I build is the most important aspect determining the effectiveness of the therapy we do. When it feels restorative, shared, and caring, the relationship provides a uniquely valuable context in which we can take on struggles and uncertainties together, while we learn about the patient's individual needs, values, and difficulties."

"We are all, I believe, a collection of parts ; some we are aware of, some we're not; some we like, some we don't; some enrich our relationships and some do just the opposite ! At times we can become hijacked by a part - saying things we don't mean to say, or muting ourselves so we don't say things we do mean. Ruptures in relationships or problems in the workplace can result. As we listen to our parts, with an open heart, healing can begin . My approach is described as warm, engaging , collaborative and, at times, playful."

"When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way."

"Are you suffering from the effects of PTSD, anxiety, depression, sudden loss, and/or chronic pain? If so body-oriented psychotherapy may help facilitate your recovery.

Painful experiences are never forgotten, but can be resolved so that they no longer intrude into one's present day life."

You do not need any artistic skill to do art therapy - just a willingness to explore with a sense of curiosity."
